All Over the Map

Yesterday I went down to Sunnyvale for a meeting with a possible client. Almost two hours to get their via public transportation; two hour meeting; two and a half hours home, because Caltrain had to pull a scheduled train out of service for mechanical problems.

And maybe, if I'm good, the sun will shine some. It's cold and clammy right now.
